For a moment, he looked around. Everything seemed to be misplaced-he couldn’t find any of the pieces of paper he usually wrote orders onto. He quickly pulled a napkin out from under the counter and wrote the ant’s order on it, then turned and handed it to the nearest kitchen worker, not saying a word. He then turned again, putting one of his elbows down on the counter.
“Alrighty, sir, that’ll be coming right up! But, uh, I really am sorry about that first thing I said. I didn’t get much sleep last night, I’m not really thinking straight.”
He then realized that he hadn’t really seen the ant before in the restaurant. Sure, he didn’t have the greatest of memories, and many of the people that went in and out he found a little strange, but there was just something about this ant that he felt he would’ve remembered if he’d seen him before.
“Oh, uh, this is your first time here, too, isn’t it? That- my goodness, I really am sorry, then, this really isn’t the norm for this restaurant, it’s usually much better than this!”
Guru appreciates the kid’s change of heart, a smile replacing his frown. It wasn’t every day a cashier changed their demeanor that quickly. Or, as far as Guru Ant had experienced. With... with one other cashier.
“Nah, I understand. Everyone makes mistakes, even, unbelievably, me. You were big about it though, and you apologized - so all is forgiven.”
He couldn’t stay mad at someone for being grumpy, especially considering what he’d heard about this place. Something about some noodle epidemic? He was glad he’d still been ant sized during that.
Besides, he’d already had his own noodle epidemic at Parappa’s place, after he won that stupid contest.
“I’ll take your word for it - I’ve heard bad things, but I’ve also heard good. The good, being the burgers. This’ll be my first time trying a burger of any kind, so I’m starting out with the biggest I can get.”
